I Shall Return, MacArthur Park Photos

What: Mac Arthur Park, also known as the Leyte Landing Memorial Park

Where: Red Beach, Palo, Leyte

As with any other monuments buillt by a nation’s people, the larger-than-life statues at the MacArthur Park represent a significant part of the past that has shaped the course of history in its immediate geographical area. The park serves as a memorial to the historic moment where the famous lines “I shall return” by General Douglas MacArthur are not said, but rather materialized by the landing of American liberation forces on the shores of Leyte.
